OOTG: Analyzing The Playoff Bubble

Lost in the shuffle of the hotly anticipated Chicago Street Race is the fact that the NASCAR Playoffs are only nine races away. Eric Estepp takes a look at the notable drivers on that bubble, and what their paths to the Playoffs look like for the remainder of the season.

• Eric provides as technical of an insight as he can into what the “Greenhouse” of a NASCAR stock car is.
• Eric has a surprise guy as the 2nd most likely driver behind Chase Elliott outside of the top 16 to win before the end of the regular season.
• Eric does not expect many new winners outside of the top-16 before the end of the season.

The Playoff grid is slowly taking shape over these final few weeks. Many prominent names currently find themselves on the outside looking in, and that should make for a frantic final few races to the Playoffs.
